Hi all - I have an issue with some web sites where instead of seeing the content of the image, I just get a solid red box. i have checked to insure my macromedia, shockwave, java, and activex components are all updated - (they seem to be - no update available). Please let me know if you have any ideas - example:

Red box on the left next to "Local Weather" and small red box on the right after "Enter city or US Zip" where I'm assuming it says "GO". (Clicking the box DOES work - i can enter a zip code and click the red box next to it and it will take me to the right page - just is a solid red - rather than what it should be). There are other examples on the page as well. On the home page at weather.com, under "Weather Center" where the current surface map should be - instead it's a solid red box.

i have been looking around on this issue and i also found the same article as fay47.(http://support.micro...om/?kbid=283807) try this URL out and let me know what the results are and we'll go from there. I'm saying this as i think you never went to it, or it seems that way as you havn't responded to what he/she had said. Also, chilula when you have a problem NEVER post it in the same thread as someone else as it'll cause CONFUSION! please follow along what's said here or else go and create a new topic.
thanx

Sorry ... I thought since we were both experiencing the same problem we might find both find a solution. I had no idea I was doing anything wrong.

Thank you for making me feel so welcome. I hope somone shows you the same courtesy if you ever have a problem.

its all good! its just the standard policy, its because sometime it can get realy confusing who is doing what, and what instructions are going to who . it just gets realy bad . i understand that it may not make sense, and i thank you for trying to be careful, its just the kind of thing that you learn with experience .
